Feels rushed and the storyline + characters arn't very interesting making it really hard to want to finish the game...
One thing you'll notice about Crysis is it's linear without being linear lol. So basically you have to go to a set place but you can chose whatever route you want to get there. This makes a welcome change from lots of other games this year such as Bioshock or COD4 where it's just very linear one set path type thing. However again Crysis just doesn't make use of it because the AI for the soldiers just isn't smart enough and they don't chase you in the woods and they don't cut down the trees to find you hiding etc etc. So insetad you'll find yourself getting sick and tried of going point to point because there just isn't much to do until you get to that point.
The gun play in Crysis is fantastic and it's really the best part of the game because of the nanosuit. Basically the Nanosuit gives you lots of options like to be able to stealth or run fast or give you armor or strength etc etc. You'll finding yourself making use of all these as you get put in sticky situations however you really feel forced to use them at the right times isntead of being able to chose what type of gameplay you want to play. Everything about the guns feels fantastic and they fire with just the right recoil and feel just the right weight and it's just pretty much perfect. What also makes it is the fact you can customize your weapons by pressing C and you can put things on and off them like a torch or silencer or a scope etc etc.
The problems in Crysis for me was everything feels like a generic sandbox and theres nor eal story or chaarcter development that'll make you care too much about playing the game and carrying on with it. It's like that female scientist you meet on the island i was expecting some romance story between them or just something abit more than we got. I wanted to make friends with my nanosuit brothers but you'll play the whole time without them. The base storyline is all there, it's just the details that're missing that make it feel very generic. I love the whole theme which i don't think has ever been done before and escaping the island was very exciting in the planes helicopter things and that was a blast but where were the characters.
When your walking round in other FPS games you can often stop and talk to the characters in the game. However in this one they just stand there and look at you and say nothing and it really gets me cause i wanted a romance in there too. Also the ending was abit of a cliff hanger lol, you expect it to end on the aircraft carrier at the end but didn't expect what happened which makes way for a Crysis 2.
One thing that i didn't enjoy about the game is how long everything takes to kill, i mean if you think the korean soldiers take long at the start then just wait till you fight over nanosuits which seem to take more damage than your nanosuit and then the Aliens which take about a year to kill.
We've all seen the graphics and they're just fantastic but the only problem is you wont want to play crysis on anything but atleast High settings for all the beauty because that's what Crysis is for. Crysis without the good graphics would just be like playing Halo without Masterchief lol, just doesn't work.
The sounds are all there too with good voice acting and sound effects, although i noticed sometimes the sounds were abit glitchy and didn't play. Also the music is good but it never really stands out as like "OMG i need to download that" which is a feeling you would get is playing MGS for example.
The multiplayer in Crysis is not so good and they've made a rushed attempt at it but it just ends up being very generic and not all that fun. It's hard to pinpoint it's faults because i just think no matter what you do to it, Crysis multiplayer is jus missing that special something that makes other games like Counter Strike soo addictive and fun.
So yeah all in all Crysis is a very satisfying FPS and it wont really disappoint the average gamer and is much better than 99% of the crap released this year. However it all feels far too generic for me and is missing alot of touches that would make it that good. Ontop of that the multiplayer just isn't any fun and you start to realise you can't give a game a 9 or 10 just for the graphics, and while the gameplay is fun, theres no story or character development and they don't make good use with the physics like Valve have done.
I would defo buy this game despite all the faults because it just ends up being this years best singleplayer FPS if you have the machine to run it. It's a good 10-15 hours long and the amount of times you'll die at the end will probably make it much longer lol.
